I was really embarrassed but it did not prevent me from enjoying my meal. Why? Because I LOVE to eat, that's all.

Jim had just paid the bill and we had barely went out that a man and woman were standing in front of us.

- Was the meal good at least?

I recognized the voice that I had already heard, it was Nick!

- I think you still didn't understand the phrase "mind your own business" even after so much time.

- Unfortunately no, sorry I care so much about you that I can't help but take care of you.

- Don't make me laugh, let's go Rose there is no use staying here any longer.

- So her name is Rose? That's good to know.

- Sh*t up and stay away from her!

Jim started to leave so I had to follow him, leaving Nick and what seemed to be his girlfriend behind. But obviously that guy didn't want to keep silent.

- Why so much violence, my brother?

- Don't ever call me that way again, it disgusts me.

- See you next time, Miss Rose.

Pardon? But who he thought he was ? Me and Jim moved away more and more from them until we turned into another street

- I'm really sorry Rose, we had to have a good time to forget about the stress and everything and that's what I'm getting you into.

- Hey! It's not your fault, okay? And I had a good time at the restaurant. My stomach can confirm that if you want.

He laughed at my last remark and smiled at me, adding:

- Thank you, that's nice from you.

After that moment we continued to walk in silence next to each other. This silence did not bother me but I don't know why I wanted to break it, something disturbed me...

- By the way, what time is it?

- Wait, I'll tell you right now.

He looked at his phone before dropping a big "SH*T!" He suddenly took my hand and ran. I did the same, not knowing what else to do.

- We have less than ten minutes to go back to school and get back to our classrooms!

We ran as if our lives depended of it because they really depended of it! Fortunately we managed to arrive in time, they were two minutes left to be precise. We were breathless as if we had just done the 100 meters at the Olympics but at least we wouldn't have any problems. We were inside the school but we were alone in that hallway.

- I'm going to get used to seeing this hallway empty.

- It doesn't bother me if I'm with you dear Rose.

We laughed together even if his last sentence accelerate my heart beat .

When we heard the bell that indicated us that the classes were restarting, we went to my class. On the way (even though there were only two corridors to do) I felt that some people were staring at me, or maybe at Jim, which seemed more logical for me. We finally arrived in front of my classroom. I was going to go back when he took my wrist (What was this mania of always grabbing my wrist or hand ?!). He leaned down to whisper this few words in my ear:

- Thank you for lunch, I had a great time with you. I hope we can do this more often and by « that » I mean moments that just the two of us will live of course. See you later.

He let me go, smiled and walked away. I was really confused but what he just said was simply what I thought myself. I smiled as I sat down, deciding not to pay attention to the people around me who were either shocked or totally disgusted and irritated.







Hello my dear readers,
